Greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression: I like the tilted shot! Then I immediately recollected recent threads about leaning photos, and realized that this community perhaps does not enjoy tilted photos.
Second thoughts: Tilted is fine, but it is lacking in height. These cathedrals are usually taller, and your landscape orientation prevented you from showing more of its architecture.
Amanda commented on the gradient, that it should have been more prominent. However, when adding a significant gradient to a sky that did not have any to begin with is walking a thin line between legal and DQ. However, your gradient should have been parallel to the horizon and not to the photo's horizontal (or it seems to me that way).
Also, to do better in a challenge (and you probably know this by now) you need a more striking photo. Compositionally and subject-wise, this is just another church (and tilted, which polarized your audience). You received slightly below-average score for it.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

| well, I commented on the tiltedness, but also, I see you added a gradient, I was going to suggest that, maybe your gradient should have been a little more dramatic and a darker blue, seems a little grayish still, focus and color on the building look good, crisp and interesting |

I knew is you though I haven't commented. You got a 7 from me. Nice try! I am not an ale fan either but good detail and nice contrast. Carry on!

| Not a fan of the angle; it's an interesting enough building to where it can stand out without a fancy perspective |

| I hope someone braces this building before it falls over completely. |

| Very nice old structure but I find the angle of the shot is distracting |

Using a new formula....
Meets the Challenge = 2
Technical Merit = 2
Holds Interest = 1
Creativity = 0
The "wow factor" = 0 (hate that "lean")
Final score: 5 |

| Hmm, is the tilt a political comment on the orthodox church? Well, that is the way I will see it. Nice detail on the image. |
